IRT 2008-09 Season Ending Rankings

The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) has released its rankings following the last Tier 1 event of the 2008-09 season. No changes in the top 9 players, as Kane Waselenchuk - 10 time winner on tour this season - tops the list followed by Rocky Carson, who won twice, and Jack Huczek, winner of one IRT Tier 1 event.

Andy Hawthorne moved past Jason Thoerner to round out the top 10. Thoerner has been inactive the last few months due to work commitments, although he was on hand as referee in Chicago at the Motorola Pro Nationals.

In the second 10, Andres Herrera fell two spots to 16, passed by Travis Woodbury, now in 14th, and Hiroshi Shimizu (15th). Kris Odegard and Anthony Herrera flipped places with Odegard going to 17th and Herrera 18th.

Finally, Javier Moreno and Alejandro Landa finished in the top 20, 19th and 20th respectively, helped by their good performances at the Motorola Pro Nationals, where Moreno made the quarter finals and Landa the Round of 16.
